Hello friend,
First you need to write down "purpose of the job" very clearly. Once you define the "purpose of the trainer" it will help you define the performance area - or what is termed as Key Performance Areas [KPAs]
Then certain peroformance objectives can be defined - these will be objetives which will be measureable. You can then define "how the achievement will be measured" which will become the Key Performance Indicators [KPI]
SInce I do not have clear idea of your job description and role profile - I am only attempting defining some Key Performance Areas for you - if you feel they are relevant you can consider - or based on this you may be able to defone your KRA and KPI
Financial Perspective:
KRA : Cost of Training per person KPI : Reduce cost of trainining by 15%
Customer Perspective:
KRA Completion of identified training needs
KPI : % of training completed as compared to the plan for the quarter
KPI : % of staff not trained for a particular competency - Target 0% [ So you may measure the current level which is say 10% and attempt to brong it to zero %]
Internal Process:
KRA : Identfication of critical training needs
KPI : Timely completion of identification of critical training needs as per time line [ Quarterly of half yearly]
KRA : Development of training modules for new joining employees
KPI : Number of new modules developed as compared to plan
Timely completion of the development of modules
KRA: Improve Quality of training
KPI : The rating of Training feedback 60% :Very Good to imprive to 75% "Very good rating" by end of Sept 2009 [ This will require improvement of content, Improvement in delivery process- media used etc. improvement in infrastructure and methods of imparting the training, which may include - knowledge and skill aspects. Skill improvement may need simulation exercises and discussion and demonstration of actual cases]
Learning and Growth Perspective:
KRA : Self development for improving communication/ New approaches to impart training - learning approaches for " Adult Education" [ Educating adults requires different approaches and there is lot that can be studied on this aspect]
KPI : Number of self development initiatives completed - as compared to planned
Hope this helps
regards
